* “The Bette Davis Show: In Person and on Film” was just that: one hour of scenes from films and one hour, sometimes more, of questions from the audience. The first tour was in 1973, repeated off and on during the following years as late as 1978. We were usually in a different city each night. The tours included twenty-six states in the U.S, two weeks in Australia and six month in Great Britain, thousands of fans wherever we went, and theaters new, old, grand, small, elegant and decrepit… These performances grew out of an idea developed by John Springer, a veteran Broadway press agent. Springer produced a series of one-woman shows under the title “Legendary Ladies at the Movies”. I was invited to be the first. On February 11, 1973, the series opened at Town Hall on West Forty-third Street in New York City… The most thrilling evenings of the show were the four nights at the Palladium in London and three nights at the fabulous opera house in Sydney, Australia. It was hard to say “What a dump!” in both of those places. They are fabulous!
